How to recreate yourself in 10 ways

Assess yourself. If you doubt so much that you’re not capable of making the impossible a reality, think again. As writer and painter Walter Anderson once quoted, “Our lives improve only when we take chances, and the first and most difficult risk we can take is, to be honest with ourselves.”
Although the impossible can be fearsome, you’ll have to face your fears one way or another. Gather your thoughts and ponder on these 10 laws to recreate yourself.
1. Build your identity
Although your identity entails your vital stats and name, it should also answer what and who you are. Your identity is the foundation of your life’s status. Factors like beliefs, opportunities, and future worth are all based on the identity you have built for yourself.
While a lot believe that to build or rebuild identity, one must change circumstances – like apply for a higher paying job. However, this is all where it goes wrong. To change your identity, you should start from the inside out and see how everything follows suit.
To build that identity and recreate yourself, you’ll have to earn it first. It’s all in the hard work, gathering information, and changing yourself from the inside out. Transform yourself into becoming the person that you envision becoming.
2. Associate with the right ones
As cliche as it gets, the adage “birds of the same feather flock together” is an entity that you should apply in your life. Whether it be better or worse, keep in mind that you become more like the people you hang around the most with. Your friends are going to influence you one way or another. So better pick those who can give a positive impact to recreate yourself.
If you’re up for it, try to create an “advisory board” of friends that you think will likely inspire you, challenge you, and inspire you. Although making a drastic decision like this can result in criticism, you’ll have to give it a go and turn your life into how you want it to be.
Choose your people

Finding a genuine best friend is like finding a spouse. As it rarely happens that you’ll have friends that will truly support you in your endeavors. Some may try to bring you down, seeing you all being courageous and confident. While others might feel worried or even envious, they are left behind.
3. Be cautious of your credit score
To reach the impossible and recreate yourself, you should be trustworthy, and the people around you should see that they can trust and count on you. Trust is something you build for years but can be easily shaken in just a moment.
When people trust you enough, they won’t think twice about doing business with you and eventually develop personal relationships. Successful relationships that are for the long-term are also key in doing the impossible. Nobody ever achieved greatness on their own.
Whenever someone lacks integrity, it gets harder for others to trust them. On the other hand, if you are a reliable person and a great partner, your status will be known as such with just word of mouth. Keep in mind that even a person with genuine intentions can still fail in the credibility department.
4. Strengthen your mind
Even if you already finished school or your master’s and Ph.D., never stop learning. Thanks to technology, every piece of information is readily available now with just one click. Educate yourself on history, money matters, and personal development. This is a surefire way to recreate yourself.
Through reading, you’re shaping your identity regardless of your current situation. There are two types of experiences you can grow from – personal experience and borrowed experience.
Reading lets, you learn from mentors. Acquiring learnings from other people’s stories, challenges, and triumph are like going through what they have gone through. Think why the world’s greatest leaders are also avid readers.

5. Assert and change your way of thinking
When you’re at your lowest point, be positive and use this as your turning point to change your way of thinking. Life can throw you not only pebbles but even stones. If you feel like you hit rock bottom, there’s no one to blame other than you and the decisions you’ve made.
It was your way of thinking that had brought you to whatever situation you were in. You have to change how you perceive things. You can always control your actions and respond to circumstances—armed with the perception that you can change to become the person you envisioned and imagine a better future for yourself. This is vital if you want to recreate yourself, and your mind will find a way to transform that goal into reality.
6. Discover your whys
As you go through life, most of us focus only on the hows. Did we forget to ask the question why? The questions tend to be easier to answer as there are always formulas and ways to solve them—however, your how questions are useless without the whys.
While your “how” should be your map, your “why” should be what drives you. That “why” is what gives your actions meaning. Those who could achieve the impossible are more fueled by the “how” than the “why.”
If you don’t have a clear path of your “why” to get through tough times, you will run out of fuel to continue. Keep in mind that it is a natural state of humans to be lazy and take the easier path unless you have great motivation to recreate yourself. The bigger your goal is, the more powerful your “why” should be.

7. Work like it’s 1880
Who thought the road to success came easy? No one. Even as the saying goes, “work smarter, not harder,” in reality, you have to do both.
Say you apply the smart working ethically. There is still no shortcut to achieving the impossible. To recreate yourself, you have to exert consistent effort.
In the American work ethic, working beyond nine to five seems like a prohibition. According to the US Department of Interior, Americans’ work time has drastically decreased in the past 200 years. Back in 1880, employees worked more than 8 hours a day. To reach the big dream and recreate yourself, you should balance smart work and hard work.
8. Level up your imagination
Imagination is one of the edges of humans from other creatures, and we can imagine things as they can be. Take, for example, how directors create movies and writers write their masterpieces.
The imagination of every creator awakens the imaginations of their audience. Your imagination can lead you to great things if you lead it in the right direction. Remember that before you can do the impossible and recreate yourself, you must first imagine it. Just like movie directors and writers, your imagination can do amazing things that can inspire others.
Mind stimulation
9. Be curious
One way to recreate yourself into the person you want to be is to be curious as Alice. Remember how her curiosity led her down a rabbit hole, going to Wonderland?
It’s clear that you do plenty of things as children but don’t do anymore as you become adults. Think through how children are constantly learning and growing. They are always curious and anxious to learn.
Curiosity doesn’t just apply to learning new information. You have to have the urge to learn how to do it. The secrets of the universe are all available to those who want to learn, and you just have to start with the desire to learn and grow.
10. Detach yourself from the old you
There are two types of people – the waiters and the doers. Those who wait spend their lives in the planning stage and preparing to do something. The waiters are just waiting for the right moment for them to go after their dreams. The person who waits misses every opportunity while waiting for that perfect moment.
Doers understand that time flies. Whatever it is that you want to do with it, don’t let opportunities pass you by. In leaping and you recreate yourself, you are pushing yourself to the next level.
Key takeaway
Whether you’re pursuing something great or achieving the impossible, your first step is to recreate yourself. You have to face your fears head-on and ditch all those excuses. Believe you are capable of greatness, and face your fears to realize your dreams.
